Trang An Landscape Complex – The Inland Halong Bay

✨ Where Sacred Temples Meet Towering Limestone Valleys

Located in Ninh Binh Province, just two hours from Hanoi, the Trang An Landscape Complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that fuses natural beauty with spiritual heritage. Often called “Halong Bay on land,” Trang An features serene rivers winding through lush valleys, rice fields, caves, and ancient temples.

🌿 What to See & Experience

• Boat Journey Through Caves: Glide on a traditional wooden sampan through a maze of limestone cliffs, entering mystical caves like Hang Dia Linh, Hang Nau Ruou, and Hang Ba Giot.

• Trinh Temple & Other Sacred Shrines: Along the waterways, visit age-old pagodas nestled between cliffs — places of pilgrimage and reflection.

• Kong Skull Island Film Set: A unique stop for film lovers — some of Trang An’s untouched areas were featured in the blockbuster movie.

• Panoramic Viewpoints: Climb nearby Hang Mua (Mua Cave) for a sweeping view over rice paddies, rivers, and karst mountains.

🧘 Nature Meets Spirituality

Trang An is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a place of calm and reverence. Many boat routes pass by ancient temples and tombs, with lotus ponds and sacred incense smoke drifting through quiet corners of the valley.

🧭 Best Time to Visit

• March – May: Pleasant weather, blooming lotus, and green rice fields.

• September – November: Harvest season with golden paddies.

🧳 Why Visit?

Trang An offers one of the most poetic and peaceful journeys in Vietnam. With every gentle row through its emerald waterways, visitors are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural and spiritual heart of the land.
